Scientists found two gigantic structures deep within the Earth

Deep within the Earth's mantle, there are two enormous structures known as large low shear velocity provinces (LLSVPs) or "blobs." The exact composition and origin of these LLSVPs remain uncertain, with hypotheses suggesting they could be accumulated oceanic crust or remnants of a hypothetical ancient planet called Theia. Further research is needed to unveil the true nature of these enigmatic structures.
